People have been screaming for action from Dems for over 2 months Recognize when Dems stand up & push back. You may want more, but it won’t come if you scorn any & all action. Offer some kind of public “payoff,” & more people will stand up. Don’t fall into yet another Democratic purity test.

Among the many errors this administration has made: 2019 was not the Biden administration. The VP tweets without first checking for obvious errors. If they make the easy ones, they're making the more subtle, less obvious ones too.

So they have enough diplomatic juice for Bukele to gleefully offer up gulag services but not enough to get back the people they illegally renditioned there? Girl, Biden got Brittney Griner out of enemy Russia and you can't get your little friend to the south to undo your oopsies? Weaksauce.

1) Remember how media in 2024 painted "once peaceful Sweden" as collapsing in violence? Well, murder stats for 2024 came out today. Number of homicides per capita in 2024 was the lowest in 13 years, and one of the lowest in the past 50 years. Will media cover this? Not likely.

In an effort to suppress minority representation, Greg Abbott refuses to set a special election for Texas 18th district which is 44 percent Hispanic and 33 percent black. These people could go unrepresented for two years.

Very honest questions: 1) Has Rubio been pushed on what we are going to do about the obviously innocent people we sent to El Salvadoran torture prison? 2) Regardless of their priors: Has Rubio publicly stated how long we are going to keep paying El Salvador to torture the people we are sending them?

C-Span: Cory Booker still filibustering after 14 overnight hours and more coherent every moment of that time than the president, more truthful than all Republican senators combined.

Our government has spent $100,000 a person to hold migrants at the Gitmo concentration camp for less than six weeks. That's about $17,000/week for each migrant. They could have stayed at a Ritz-Carlton for that. What's this you say about government waste and efficiency, Elon?

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

I'm embracing my Canadian heritage. I'm binge watching Salvage Kings, a show Hulu recommended to me. It's about a salvage company in Canada. I'm almost through season 1. It's so fucked up that Trump is going after our best ally.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

The thing law school really impressed upon me is that all of this stuff is made up. When we talk about things being illegal, we are simply talking about an agreement. “Legality” does not matter when the underlying concept is no longer agreed upon.

The US embassy in FRANCE sent a letter to FRENCH companies IN FRANCE asking if the companies have anti-discrimination HR policies, because the embassy won't do business with them if they do. The white supremacy movement in control of the US government is moving on the world like a bitch.

🔥Rufus Gifford, former U.S. amb. to Denmark, unloaded on JD Vance for saying Denmark “is not a good ally”: Go to Denmark and say it to the faces of the parents of the young men and women who lost their lives alongside U.S. troops. Say it to them!

Donald and Elon both have a pathologically hatred and disdain for those in need. Which is odd, since Donald needed his father to rescue his failed businesses to the tune of over $400,000,000 and Elon needed the US government to rescue his faltering businesses to the tune of $18 Billion (so far).

The US is going through our own Cultural Revolution. Our cult of personality is also willing to burn everything to the ground for ideological purity. MAGA's predecessor left China an economic ruin, killed millions, and left the country without intellectuals or expertise. It took decades to recover.

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

Add it to the list—now Trump wants to eliminate FEMA? Texas has faced hurricanes, wildfires, and deadly winter storms. Since addressing climate change isn’t a priority for them, it’s only going to get worse. We’re one of the most impacted states. This isn’t just reckless—it’s dangerous.
